Global Machinery Company MX1275 - Manual (Page 6)

• Do not attempt to free a jammed blade before first
switching off the machine.
• Do not slow or stop a blade with a piece of wood. Let
the blade come to rest naturally.
• If you are interrupted when operating the saw, complete
the process and switch off before looking up.
• Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other fixings
are properly tightened.
• Do not store materials or equipment above a machine
in such a way that they could fall into it.
• Always hold the saw on parts that are insulated. If you
accidentally cut into hidden wiring or the saw’s own
cable, the metal parts of the saw will become “live”.
• Never saw near combustible liquids or gases.
• Note the direction of rotation of the motor and the
blade.
• Do not lock the movable guard in the open position and
always ensure that it is working properly, freely rotating
and returning to fully cover the teeth of the blade.
• Fully unwind cable drum extensions to avoid potential
overheating.
• When an extension cable is required, you must ensure
that it has the correct ampere rating for your power tool
and has a safe electrical condition.
• The base plate must always be held firmly against
the material being cut to reduce saw vibration, blade
jumping and blade breakage.
• Do not cut materials containing asbestos.
• Do not use metal or stone cutting blades. Only use
wood saw blades.
The tool must be used only for its prescribed purpose.
Any use other than those mentioned in this Manual will
be considered a case of misuse. The user and not the
manufacturer shall be liable for any damage or injury
resulting from such cases of misuse.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for any changes
made to the tool nor for any damage resulting from such
changes.
Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is not possible
to eliminate all residual risk factors. The following hazards
may arise in connection with the tool’s construction and
design:
• Contact with the blade.
• Kickback of work piece and parts of work piece.
• Blade fracture
• Catapulting of blade pieces.
• Damage to hearing if effective earmuffs are not worn.
• Harmful emissions of sawdust when the machine is
used in closed rooms. Always use supplementary dust
extraction where possible.
• Do not use blades that are deformed or cracked.
